This is the last leg of my pregnancy before we become a party of five and giving you update about this pregnancy. So if you have been following me on instagram. You probably read how my doctor’s appointment went yesterday.

Update: So I went to the doctor 3 weeks and ago and she said the measurement of my belly was small of the age of gestation. She told me that she will order an ultrasound when the measurement of my belly is still small just to make sure baby measures well. And so it was yesterday, I am just worried that baby haven’t positioned herself yet. The doctor also mentioned that it was probably how baby Andi was positioned. She might still be in breech position, hopefully not. I don’t want to get have a c-section delivery.

On a good note, At least I will get to see her again inside me to make sure everything is okay. Also, I passed all the blood work that was taken last week and I do not have a gestational diabetes. They also gave me a vaccine called DTap Vaccine. It is a new thing as I did not get that from my 2 previous pregnancies. Which is something good that I will know will cover baby Andi from whooping cough. They encourage everybody who will be around the baby to get the vaccine so it means the whole family.

Another positive note, even though my tummy is getting bigger and heavier and it really is a hard time to position myself sleeping at night and getting up to go use the bathroom. I know I am only 3 and half months to go and we’ll get to see our third bundle of joy.

As for this dress, I have been loving a lot of Yumi Kim’s dresses. They are so chic and comfy specially for maternity. I so love all her collections as you can see me wearing a lot of her creations lately. It makes me feel good as we all know that being pregnant can be difficult sometimes as there are a lot of changes happening in a woman’s body.

Until the next update. Once I get my results back, I’d be happy to share it again with all of you. Thank you so much for passing by and see you again next time.

Quilted Brown Coat

I love a good trench coat and when it comes to women’s winter coats, you will want at least one trench coat in your wardrobe this season. They are very trendy right now and the extra length is beneficial for providing a little bit of extra warmth. This one is lightweight for less harsh days and I love the neutral color as it goes with everything. This is technically a padded jacket, even though the padding is not as big and bulky as other coats you usually see in winter.

For this winter outfit, I paired a plain black tee with the neural trench coat and neutral winter boots. They matched perfectly! I also added my black bag, sunglasses, and pearl earrings. And to add a touch of color, I wore red lips and nails. LOVE! This outfit is perfect for brunch with the girls, date night, and even just when you are out and about.

Tips for finding coats under $100:

  1. If you’re in need of a new winter coat, start by shopping sales. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and around holidays are usually the best time to score good deals at department stores and online retailers.
  2. Use the filter button. On most online retail sites, there will be a filter you can choose to search products within a certain price range. Set the filter to under $100 and get shopping.
  3. Don’t sacrifice quality for price. Yes, it always feels good to get a good deal, but only if the product is actually worth it. When it comes to coats, they must keep you warm. This means you can not sacrifice quality for price. If you can not find a quality coat under $100 where you are shopping, consider another retailer. Coats come in all shapes, sizes, and prices and with a little digging you are sure to find the coat that is right for you.
  4.  Sign up for email newsletters for your favorite brands. When you sign-up for newsletters, you are usually notified of a sale before everyone else that is not signed up. When you get an email that a sale is approaching, go ahead and pick out your favorite coats and be ready to get the reduced rate when the sale finally starts. This will help ensure you do not miss out on getting your size and the good deal you deserve.
What winter coats under $100 are you into this season?

Styles change every season, but if one thing is for sure, you will always need a good winter coat during the cold weather. But this doesn’t mean you have to break the bank trying to find the most expensive option out there. I hope this quick roundup of winter jackets under $100 helps you find the right style for you at the right budget.

Sharing different ways to wear a classic trench coat outfit. Investing in a trench coat is a fashion hack that lasts forever. A timeless piece that lasts a lifetime. You will never go out of style wearing it, you just have to play with it mixing and matching it with different looks and styles.

Trench Coat Outfit

Are Trench Coats In Style

Trench coats are always in style. I remember seeing them in old classic movies throughout the years and I have always loved them. They make a return each and every fall as they are the perfect fall and winter staple. Not only are they very stylish and warm, but most also protect you from the rain and wind.

See below for some trench coat outfit ideas and inspiration for what to wear with a trench coat.

While I don’t have any pictures here today, I also love when trench coats feature faux fur. It’s a very classy look. If you have been considering ways to style a trench coat with faux fur, I say go for it.

What To Wear With A Trench Coat

A Sweat Suit

I love a good sweat suit and trench coat outfit. It’s so comfortable and relaxed, yet somehow still very chic and modern. Also trendy right now as both streetwear and casual wear. This is one of my favorite outfits for all types of travel.

Jeans

I have found that jeans always look good with a trench coat. Especially skinny jeans. You will see that I am wearing jeans in a couple of the outfits featured below. It is really easy to pair jeans with a neutral trench coat. Neutral matches black jeans, white jeans, and regular blue jeans. If you are wearing a colored trench coat, you may need to choose the color of your jeans more wisely.

Dresses

This one might seem obvious but I will mention it anyway. Dresses and trench coats go perfectly together no matter the length of your dress. If you are attending any special event where you need a stylish jacket to wear over your fancy dress, a trench coat is usually perfect.

Fashion-forward Sun Glasses

I love wearing powerful sunglasses with my trench coat because it gives all the James Bond vibes. It makes me feel confident and smart, and it is such a powerful statement.

Statement Shoes

Because trench coats stop around the calves, they provide the perfect opportunity to show off your statement shoes. Whether they be stylish modern kicks, classy black heels, or your favorite pair of ankle boots. Since trench coats and statement shoes are both very eye-catching, they make for a very balanced look when paired together.

A Statement Bag

I love statement handbags and I am always very particular when purchasing them. I take my time doing all the research and then I enjoy creating outfits with them again and again. Every good trench coat needs a good bag to accompany it. In three of the outfits I feature below, you will see a statement bag I used to tie the outfit together.

SHOP HERE: BELT 

Sharing my Celine Triomphe belt review here to guide you in deciding if you are planning to invest in this belt. I have been in love with the brand but this is my first Celine brand ever to own! I love that the brand has a classic elegant style from their handbags, shoes, and belts! This brand has been around for a long time and is tried and tested.

Since I have been seeing a lot of bloggers wearing this chic belt, I know I had to try it. This is a gift from my husband for our wedding anniversary and that is the belt I was wearing on the photo of us for our anniversary trip to L.A. It elevates every outfit you wear!

Celine Triomphe Belt Review

Celine Triomphe Belt Review

So let me give you an overview of the Materials, Hardware, Style, Length, Quality, and Price of this belt, and what I like and don’t like.

  1. The material is smooth calfskin so you know the quality is great and it has this shine!
  2. The gold finishing is what got me. it looks very expensive!
  3. I got the size 85 and it is true to size so make sure you read their size chart to get the right sizing.
  4. The triumph buckle with collar stud is everything on this belt!

The only thing I did not like is that it easily loses its shape if you don’t roll it. so make sure you roll it and put it in its box or if you have this belt organizer, it will hold its shape!

Is Celine Belt Worth It?

I must say, yes! I use it a lot to elevate my casual outfit, I also use it for some of my dresses to accentuate the waistline. It is on the pricey side as to what to expect getting a designer belt but the quality, the style is amazing!

How to Style a Leather Shorts

Wondering how to style leather shorts? Here are the three ways I styled them to give you an idea of what to wear with this classic look. Under each outfit idea, I have also included some different ways you could style each look by changing up a few of the pieces.

See some of my favorite leather shorts outfits below. You’ll see I wore my black leather shorts with a variety of different outfits, and I hope my outfits inspire you to create a look of your own!

How to Style Leather Shorts

STYLE 1

This first style is a cool casual style, an easy and comfy look, I actually wore this going to the grocery store. I just wore a basic t-shirt inside then threw on this belted jacket but did not wanna tie the belt around so I kinda tied it at the back. Then I paired it with my current favorite Chelsea leather boots and it did work. I must say this look is more for running errands or showing off your best street style. If you don’t have Chelsea boots, you can still wear this look with normal ankle boots. And, while I love this belted jacket, you could go for a long coat if it’s cold outside.

STYLE 2

This look is chic and can be worn for brunch, meeting with friends, and date nights. Very easy to create just wear a simple long-sleeved turtleneck top, tucked it in, and pair it with knee-high or combat boots, and viola! You are ready to roll! Oh, and don’t forget the crossbody bag. Now you are more stylish than ever with those high-waisted faux leather shorts. Also love the color combo I created here as it is in the neutral style. But really, you can wear any color top you want making endless outfit ideas and options.

STYLE 3

This third look is more of a smart casual style or if it is not too strict in your workplace I can say it can be a business casual outfit. The blazer really made it and the Croc knee-high boots made it so chic as well look like a true boss lady! This is short styling at its finest. If plaid is not your thing, you can opt for a black blazer, but I do think some color is better to balance out the outfit. Also, a jacket with white detail would also work for this look.

Don’t forget that you can also make any one of these outfits fit for the cold season by adding a pair of black tights. That, combined with a few cold weather accessories, you can totally wear leather shorts in cold weather. Also, don’t be afraid to try a leather-on-leather outfit with leather shorts and a leather jacket. See more leather on leather, here.
